Those stunning Young Hearts are back with a special yuletide show with another wonderful title ; The Winking Glitter of a Frosty Dawn, this Saturday in Dublin Co-Op. A terrific and varied line up as always, with live highlights sure to be Donal Lunny, Sunken Foal, Tieranniesaur, Maeve Higgins, Katie Kim, and, Kate Ellis. (full line up after the jump) The Co-op is one of my favourite Young Hearts venues, so get along – it’ll be a late one no doubt. These nights are a little slice of magic that you’d be mad to miss.

I was at Donal Dineen’s Ode to Radio for Culture Night on Friday and guest Angkorwat mentioned an Arthur Russell night that’s coming up in Dublin in late October. A bit of googling has turned up an event page on Bodytonic’s site that mentions a great line up with contributions from Tim Lawrence, Jim Carroll, David Kitt, TR-One, Angkorwat (obv), Patrick Kelleher, School Tour, Hulk and more, on Sun 30th October. Looks like there’ll be a screening of the Wild Combination documentary, though there’s no stage times etc as yet. Arthur Russell was such a wonderful, diverse, exciting musicians that it looks like a great night- one for the diary for sure.
And any excuse to post my favourite Arthur Russell track is a good one. He’s one of my favourite discoveries of the last six or seven years, made courtesy of Dineen, who in turn was put on to him by David Kitt, who’s playing on the 30th – nice.
I really like this idea from Project Arts Centre – they’re recruiting a guest blogger for the Winter Season (something they’ve done in the past) who will blog about the season of events in return for access to all the shows (with a friend) and backstage access to all the artists. It’s obviously a big win for project, but it could really benefit someone who wants to get into criticism, arts journalism, or any aspect of theatre production in fact, as it gives you so much access to a whole season of work, how it’s presented, what the programming threads are, how it’s received and so on.
Applications now open, deadline 30th September
Update: Just spotted this one online too – HWCH are looking for a guest blogger via Mulley Communications which is a great gig for music fans. Great way to expose yourself to a diversity of irish acts.
